Directions:
NOTE: If you are making these products for sale, good manufacturing practices recommend you wear a hairnet, glove and a mask. We also recommend a clean apron and workspace.
- To a large glass mixing bowl, add 24 oz. of water. Set aside.
- To microwave-safe measuring cup, add Evening Primrose Oil, Rose Hip Seed Oil, Almond Butter, Emulsifying Wax and Stearic Acid. Heat in microwave until waxes have completely melted.
- Place bowl of water into microwave and heat for 2 minutes.
- Slowly pour water into oil/wax mixture. Using a stick blender, begin to blend. Continue blending until the mixture starts to thicken. If mixture does not thicken after 10 minutes, place in refrigerator for 30-45 minutes until edges start to harden.
- Scrape sides with spatula and stick blend to incorporate ingredients. Add Vitamin E, Isopropyl Myristate and Lemon Essential Oil. Continue blending.
- Check temperature to be sure it is under 176°F. Add preservative and blend thoroughly for an additional 30 seconds.
- Fill jars to approximately 4 oz. by weight. Let product cool completely before applying lid. Lotion will thicken as it cools.
